What are the Administrative Units of Pakistan?

Pakistan is a federation of four provinces (Punjab, Sindh, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Balochistan), the Islamabad Capital Territory and two separately administered territories.

  • The provinces grew out of the British India provinces that became part of Pakistan in 1947.
  • In 1955 the western provinces were merged into one unit, West Pakistan.
  • West Pakistan was dissolved in 1970 and the four provinces were restored.
  • The Northern Areas were renamed Gilgit-Baltistan in 2009.
  • The North-West Frontier Province was renamed Khyber Pakhtunkhwa in 2010.
  • The Federally Administered Tribal Areas (F.A.T.A.), shown on this quiz's map, joined Khyber Pakhtunkhwa in 2018.

Current quiz contains 8 administrative units: Azad Kashmir, Baluchistan, F.A.T.A., F.C.T., N.W.F.P., Northern Areas, Punjab, Sind.
